14-year-old hospitalized after falling off a horse in Warren County

A 14-year-old girl was flown to Morristown Memorial Hospital this afternoon after she fell off the horse she was riding, police said.

The girl had been riding the animal at Magestic Stables in Hardwick when she fell, said NJ State Police spokesman Sgt. Julian Castellanos.

Police did not have information about the girl’s condition, but Suzanne Ladlee, the mother of the stable’s owner, said tonight the girl is OK and was released from the hospital.

Police had said the horse fell on top of the girl, but Ladlee said the girl fell beside the horse.

The incident occurred at roughly 1:45 p.m. at the stable, located at 70 Birch Ridge Road, Castellanos said.

The girl was treated at the hospital and released two hours later, Ladlee said tonight. "She is home and she is fine," she said. "They were just making sure that there were no injuries because she had hit her head."

Ladlee said the girl was supervised while riding and "it was just an accident."

According to its website, the stable offers professional riding lessons for students aged three to adult.
